About this map

Denison Dam anchors this landscape at the border of Texas and Oklahoma, holding back the waters of Lake Texoma where the Red River formerly flowed unimpeded. To the south, the city of Denison exhibits a dense street grid featuring local landmarks such as Oakwood Cem and Fairview Cem. The surrounding area is characterized by smaller communities like Cartwright, Colbert, and the railroad-oriented Warner Junction.

Hydrographic features like Randell Lake and R and G Club Lake dot the terrain south of the dam, while the Oklahoma side includes the settlements of Pickwick and Staley. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies numerous family-named roads and cemeteries, including the Yarbrough Cem and Garden of Memory Cem, providing a detailed view of the regional settlement pattern in the early 21st century.
